Amber Gustafson has been named a 2024 America’s Retail Champion by the National Retail Federation, according to a July 12 press release from the local jeweler. Now in its seventh year, the program honors small retailers from across the country who speak out on public policy debates affecting the retail industry at the national, state and local levels.

Retailers were nominated by state retail associations and their peers based on engagement in public policy discussions. Forty-four retailers from 27 different states were selected as champions for the program and five were named as finalists. One small retailer will be named the 2024 America’s Retail Champion during NRF’s 2024 Retail Advocates Summit, the retail industry’s premier advocacy event, on July 25 in Washington, D.C. The overwhelming majority of retailers are small businesses, with more than 98 percent of all retail companies employing fewer than 50 people.
